CSV to HTML Table Converter
Convert CSV files into an HTML snippet using <table><tr><td> markup. Choose the delimiter, whether to use the first line as a header, and whether to wrap the rows in <thead>/<tbody>. The result is previewed live and can be copied or downloaded. Conversion runs entirely in your browser; no data is sent to a server.

How a CSV row maps to an HTML table
| One CSV row | name,age,city |
|---|---|
| Resulting HTML markup | <tr><td>name</td><td>age</td><td>city</td></tr> |
When the first line is used as a header, it converts to a row of <th> tags; every row after that converts to a row of <td> tags.
Tips
- When pasting into HTML email or an older CMS that lacks Markdown support, the minimal output without thead/tbody tends to be easier to work with.
- Any
<,>, or&inside a cell is automatically escaped into HTML entities, so pasting the generated code will not break the layout. - The preview renders the converted table exactly as a browser would, so you can check how it looks before copying the code anywhere.
- Combine this with the sister tools CSV to Markdown and CSV to JSON to convert a single CSV into whichever of the three formats you need.

Side Note — Why the <table> tag refuses to die
In the early days of the Web in the late 1990s, "table layout" — building an entire page layout with <table> tags — was the norm. CSS had little layout power at the time, and tables were the only practical way to arrange content into multiple columns, so HTML source code back then was full of <table> elements that had nothing to do with tabular data.
Now that CSS has matured and Flexbox and Grid are widespread, using tables for layout is a well-known anti-pattern. But for the tag's actual purpose — representing real data organized into rows and columns — <table> remains the most appropriate and accessible choice, since screen readers can announce the relationship between <th> and <td> cells.
The need to paste CSV content into a blog post or email newsletter is still common, since HTML email cannot render Markdown and some CMSs lack a Markdown plugin. A tool that converts spreadsheet output into an HTML table with one click supports this simple but enduring practical need.
